Chapter One Hundred and Forty-Three: Camp Assembly p2
“A quarter?” The camp leader murmured.
But Second Brother heard something in her words. He stared at the bottle in the woman’s hand and asked, “What about the one in your hand? Lettuce? How long will it take to harvest?”
“Summer… at the fastest, a little over a month, it can be harvested.” At this time, Ning Xiaoxiao had completely entered the state, and said quickly, “Even if it’s almost autumn, a growth cycle won’t be much longer.”
“And, if you want it to grow faster to pass the test of the organization inside, I have another way…”
Hearing Ning Xiaoxiao’s words, Second Brother didn’t care about anything at this time, put the two bottles of seeds in his hand into other people’s hands, and asked eagerly:
“What way?!”
“When you were driving to the ash area to find them, we hadn’t gone yet, and when we stopped in place, because I was a little thirsty but embarrassed to ask for water… so I got out of the car to find water myself.”
At first, Ning Xiaoxiao was a little embarrassed when she said it, but after noticing that no one was laughing at her, she continued boldly:
“I first collected a little condensed water on the vines, preparing to save more to drink, but then I noticed that every vine was very full, and then I tried to cut one open with a knife…”
“A lot of light green sap gushed out, but I wasn’t very daring to drink it, and then I took out one of the white mice I raised and let it drink a mouthful, and it died…”
“I was startled and knocked over the cup of sap, but something strange happened. Where the sap flowed, the moss and some unsprouted grass seeds on the ground quickly sprouted…”
“Then I thought, this sap is highly toxic to ordinary people, but for plants, it might be the best nutrient solution.”
Speaking of this, Ning Xiaoxiao looked at the others, paused for a while, and then said her plan.
“I plan to divide the cabbage seeds into three parts, plant one part in the center of the ash area, plant one part near the green area, and hydroponically cultivate the last part with the sap from the vines… This way, even if the nutrient solution doesn’t work, we can also observe which soil is more suitable for planting, and plan for the second phase of sowing…”
After she finished speaking, she noticed that everyone was looking at her with strange eyes, and she quickly lowered her head, and her voice became smaller as she added:
“I don’t know if this… is okay?”
After a long while, Second Brother came to his senses, and stomped his foot: “It’s so damn okay, hurry up, everyone do as she says! Move, move!”
“If you can really speed up the planting, you are the great hero of our camp!”
“Awesome!”
“How to do hydroponics, make a list, and we’ll start right away!”
“The combatants will go dig holes first, bury the ashes in the pits as much as possible, and clear enough planting land…”
The people of the original Panlong Square camp in the entire ash area were all motivated.
At this time, their enthusiasm was higher than ever.
Not only because they had a goal, but also because they saw the hope of living and working in peace and contentment.
As long as they transformed it well… the current ash area could eventually become a paradise like the green oasis next door.
And at this time, Ning Xiaoxiao was pulled out alone by Second Brother. As the second-in-command of the camp, he knew very well that if the camp wanted to take root here, it might have to rely on Ning Xiaoxiao, who was an ordinary person but a highly educated person.
“Besides the necessary living supplies, do you need anything else? Even if it’s going to the next city, I will assemble the troops to search for it for you…”
Second Brother looked at Ning Xiaoxiao with ardent eyes.
Although he, who had only finished nine years of compulsory education, didn’t know what these people needed for research, but if there was anything they really needed, he would try his best to get it.
“Need? I don’t need anything…” Ning Xiaoxiao herself knew that in the apocalypse, no matter how sophisticated the instruments were, they might have been scrapped.
If there was anything important in the apocalypse, there was only one thing.
Paper theses and research materials.
If Ning Xiaoxiao could see the information about plants, she could learn botany from scratch and design more professional plans.
Changing careers was nothing to her, after all, the end of biology, chemistry, environment, and materials was to change careers.
Just get used to it.
“Research materials… But if it’s useful materials, they should be in Kun City. There are no good plant universities nearby.” Ning Xiaoxiao looked at Second Brother and said truthfully.
“Materials… are they inside?” Hearing this, Second Brother frowned slightly.
After all, they had not been told that they could enter the urban forest.
But soon, Second Brother still patted Ning Xiaoxiao’s shoulder and said, “It’s okay, you go and arrange things with them first, go to the border and wait, and see how to communicate with the inside.”
“Eh… Second Brother, is this really okay?” Hearing this, Ning Xiaoxiao was still a little nervous.
After all, they didn’t even know the name of the organization inside, or even the name of the big shot who gave them the opportunity. Now it was too early to make conditions.
“It’s okay.” Second Brother was relieved about this. He smiled and said, “This organization is not a devil.”
“The higher-ups of the organization know better than us the role of a doctor… right, Dr. Ning.” Looking at the nervous Ning Xiaoxiao, Second Brother smiled and comforted, “Maybe they will directly hire you to do research inside… Don’t forget us then.”
“Second Brother…” Ning Xiaoxiao opened her mouth, but before she could speak, Second Brother turned around and left gracefully.
Now that things had come to this…
The fact that she didn’t study plants, and the fact that she wasn’t even a doctor…
She couldn’t say it!
Ning Xiaoxiao wanted to cry but had no tears.
What they didn’t know was that while they were busy, everything they did was seen by the higher-ups of the “organization”.
At the edge of the ash area and the forest area, several white, huge bone dragonfly-like insects were lying or hanging upside down at the edge of the forest area, their slender tails constantly tapping the ground or vines, detecting everything around them.
Blood Crystallized Insects.
These were the “True Sight Guards” that Lin Jiayao had placed around the forest area, and they had all hatched after absorbing the energy of the tree sap.
At the same time, there were also many fluorescent green flying insects patrolling around. These were Lin Jiayao’s “eyes and ears”.
Not only to watch the people in the ash area, but also to prevent people with ulterior motives from sneaking into the forest area and disturbing her and her sister.
After all, who knew if there would be extreme fanatics of the Voodoo Cult who would counterattack the Voodoo camp that had been occupied by Huayibai, or come to Kun City to carry out suicide attacks?
“Do you think this will work? Saying this should be very sincere, right? Will Wan Zi and the others refuse? After all, they are already self-sufficient, there’s no need to travel all the way here…”
At this time, Lin Xiwan was still thinking about what words to use to get Wan Zi’s camp over.
But when she went to ask her sister for advice, she found that her sister had a smile on her face.
“What are you smiling about?” Lin Xiwan played with her sister’s soft pink earlobe and asked curiously.
“Ah? Nothing, just saw something interesting,” Lin Jiayao shook her head, and by the way, shook off her sister’s devil’s hand, looked at her sister and said, “Are you asking about Wan Zi’s camp?”
“Yes, I was thinking that they might refuse…”
“It’s okay, they won’t refuse.” Lin Jiayao shook her head, “You can just offer them an olive branch.”
When she used A4 to pass over the Qingzhou University Camp before, the heavy rain there had been going on for who knows how long.
Not only was there water accumulation in the entire camp, but the crops had also been harvested, and most of the houses had collapsed. It seemed that they had suffered serious damage.
And she also stopped a C-rank zombie inside from attacking the camp people. Judging from their remaining combat power… they could no longer survive in Qingzhou, where the rain was continuous.
If an olive branch was offered to them now, they would definitely catch it without hesitation and rush here as quickly as possible.
Just now, Lin Jiayao observed the movements of the Panlong Camp through the insects she buried there.
If at first, she felt indifferent about taking in other camps, now she finally had a little interest.
If her sister could also bring the Qingzhou University Camp over, maybe they could really rebuild a giant camp and become self-sufficient.
After all, there were really talented people in the camp who could increase production.
If Lin Jiayao remembered correctly, there were students majoring in agriculture and forestry in the Qingzhou University Camp.
Then Lin Jiayao might open the forest area to some researchers and let them freely use the books and research materials inside.
If they didn’t encounter natural disasters like in Guangnan Province, if they continued to develop like this, they would definitely develop into a huge camp. After the camp grew, they could directly organize combat groups to sweep the surrounding cities and bring blood crystals for themselves…
Thinking that she might be able to receive blood crystals while lying at home in the future, Lin Jiayao’s mood also improved a little.
The shock and fear brought by the deep-sea monster before basically disappeared.
“Thump—”
“Thump—”
“Thump—”
At this time, the building-tree guard was still carrying the two of them and walking steadily in the city. Unexpectedly, the building-tree could be used as a good means of transportation.
It felt like driving a mecha.
At this time, Lin Xiwan was still discussing the radio with Huayibai. Seeing that they were chatting enthusiastically, Lin Jiayao did not disturb them, but controlled the building-tree guard to change direction.
She was going to collect books and build the 【Library Lv.1】.
Speeding up her mental recovery speed could allow her to recover faster from the “wilted” state after logging into B-rank.
While the building-tree was heading towards the library of the Plant Research Institute, Lin Xiwan, who was chatting with Huayibai, looked up at her sister.
“Yao, I’m going to start.”
“Okay.”
……
“Buzz…”
Qingzhou University Camp radio station, a disabled middle-aged man suddenly woke up from a light sleep.
The Voodoo radio station, which had been playing “Good Day” and “Unforgettable Tonight” on loop since yesterday, seemed to have some movement.
“Wan Zi, Wan Zi, something’s up, turn on the radio.” The man pressed the broadcast button on campus and said.
Wan Zi, who was busy at this time, stopped what she was doing after hearing the words “turn on the radio”, and asked her subordinates to bring the radio to her.
